Abstract (en)

[origin: US2006100171A1] Highly branched alpha-glucan having an average molar weight of at least 10<SUP>5 </SUP>Da can be used for inducing or enhancing satiety and/or satiation in humans or animals by incorporation of the alpha-glucan into a liquid nutritional or pharmaceutical composition, preferably together with a food protein. The alpha-glucan induces a viscosity increase upon lowering the pH. The degree of branching of the alpha-glucan is at least 8%. Such alpha-glucans can be obtained e.g. by fermentation of lactobacillus strains having glucosyltransferase activity on a sucrose substrate.
